CHRISTINE McGuinness looked incredible in a figure-hugging white minidress after showing off her dramatic new hairdo.
The mum-of-three visited her salon and had the chop, losing inches from her long blonde hair so that it now rests on her shoulders.
Christine debuted her new look on Instagram, telling fans: "Had a lil chop chop. What are we saying? I love it!"
Then in a promo post for fashion brand Rare, Christine slipped into the skintight white dress and modelled it in a corridor from all angles.
It drove fans wild, with one writing: "So gorgeous ???????? and beautiful figure xxx."

Another posted: "Such a rare diamond."
A third commented: "You are absolutely stunning."
After a traumatic year personally, newly-single Christine is embarking on her first solo TV project.
Following the huge success of her 2021 documentary, Our Family And Autism, alongside ex-husband Paddy, she will now front her own factual film for the BBC.
In Christine McGuinness: Unmasking My Autism, the model — who split with the Top Gear host in July last year — will look at how the developmental condition appears to have been misunderstood in women.
This is a struggle Christine faced with her own diagnosis, aged 33.
A BBC source said: “Christine was shocked by how autism is seen as something mostly affecting men and what felt like a gender bias in diagnosis.
"The second film follows her on a journey in search of answers for the thousands of other women like herself in the UK, who are spending years undiagnosed or masking their symptoms to the detriment of their mental health.”
In Paddy And Christine: Our Family And Autism — which was nominated for a National TV Award — they opened up about their experience after nine-year-old twins Leo and Penelope, and Felicity, six, were diagnosed.
In the doc, Christine, also learned she was autistic.

Discussing the diagnosis in her 2021 autobiography A Beautiful Nightmare, she said: “It all makes sense now. And as much as I’m not totally surprised, it’s still been emotional to accept, but it’s a relief as well. It was a lot to take in and I broke down in tears. I think it’s because the news conjured up a mixture of emotions. I’m just really sad for my younger self.”
Discussing her new solo documentary, a source said: “This second film is an incredibly personal journey for Christine as she investigates why it took so long for her to find her own truth and learns it’s indicative of systemic failings for other women and girls.
“It’s taken on additional weight as her first solo project.
“Away from Paddy, she’s been part of ensemble casts like The Real Housewives Of Cheshire and ITV’s The Games but this is Christine, standing alone and owning her space.”
Unmasking My Autism is set to air as in the spring.
